Re: Please help Wave Robotics earn $1,000!!!
So, I came back and tossed in god knows how many more coins. I've put in upwards of 4,000 alone...
I decided to run some numbers. At 4:00 pm (Pacific Time) today, on 5/30/11 the score was: 1145320 vs 697526 This has Wave leading by 447,794 coins. Assuming the end is tomorrow night at midnight, there is only 32 hours left. Therefore, they would need to put in roughly 13,994 coins an hour, to just tie with Wave. Which comes out to roughly 233 coins a minute. Thanks to Katie, we know a reasonable top speed: Quote:
I'll drop a few more in if I the need becomes urgent, but I think the gap is too great to recover. That being said, never take your enemy small. If they get a 30 kid class tomorrow to work at full speed, they could theoretically catch up in around 5 hours. Get a few classes to work on it simultaneously, and they could catch up really quickly. By 4:00-ish local time tomorrow, I'm guessing another check is in order. If we see the gap closing, then we know we need to act tomorrow to make sure Wave makes it out on top! Good luck, glad to help! *Edit: Oshkosh is in Central time, so my number are slightly off. Considering the small time change, if the contest closes at midnight their time, the gap will be even harder to close. Last edited by Navid Shafa : 30-05-2011 at 19:26. Reason: Time Zones |
